Kaji-Bei knives are forged and ground in a small workshop behind the smith’s house in Sanjo Niigata. Ishikawa-san specializes in smaller knives with a good portion of the makiri (fisherman’s knives) used in Japan coming from his small workshop.
Ishikawa-san’s knives have a distinctive Sanjo accent with their thick spines and generous proportions.
The Official Kaji-bei 135mm Santoku Iron Clad Shirogami 2 Kurouchi Buffalo Horn is a high quality and comfortable product. It features a fit, a polyester mesh body and is built for exceptional performance.
Bei-san’s work is very consistent, evenly forge drawn thin blades and clean grinds. Dare we call his shirogami 2 a poor man’s Shigefusa?
This knife has a hard carbon steel core with iron cladding for added durability. The entire blade will develop a patina with use, especially with acidic foods. Special attention is needed to keep from rusting. Do not leave wet. Hand wash & dry, no dishwasher. Hardwood-end grain or softwood long grain cutting boards are preferred; avoid bamboo and plastic cutting boards. Rust can be removed with a light abrasive.
